mario falcone insist he is happy for his ex,but he moves on ...with a table for two date..

He’s insisted he’s happy for his ex
girlfriend Lucy Mecklenburgh who has found love with a new man, and it
looks like Mario Falcone is doing his best to move on too.

The TOWIE star was spotted enjoying a cosy dinner for two near his Essex home with a mystery blonde on Sunday night.

The 25-year-old was obviously enjoying the attentions of his pretty companion as they talked animatedly over their meal.

Who's that girl? TOWIE star Mario Falcone enjoys a cosy dinner with a mystery blonde at an Essex eatery

Mario and his date were spotted at Alec’s Restaurant on a table for two.

Whilst
tailor Mario was dressed down for his date, leaving his dapper suits at
home in favour of jeans and a tight t-shirt, his pretty friend looked
smart in her monochrome ensemble.

In
high waisted black trousers, a white wrap-over sleeveless shirt and
black heels, the mystery girl finished her look with a grey Prada tote
bag.

Table for two: Mario and his date were spotted chatting over some wine as they enjoyed their evening

The two shared some wine as
they chatted at their table but it didn’t look like Mario could keep his
date entertained all evening as at one point his companion picked up
her mobile for a quick conversation.

According
to onlookers Mario came over unusually shy when he realised he’s been
spotted at the restaurant, with the pair leaving in two separate cars.

The
Essex boy showed off his muscles as he sped away, with his left arm
covered in a fresh bandage after he recently updated his extensive
sleeve tattoo.

Whilst
the ladies man left separately from his pretty date, both cars were
spotted heading toward Mario’s nearby flat, the home he used to share
with Lucy.

Since viewers saw Lucy discover
the extent of Mario’s infidelity on The Only Way Is Essex earlier this
year, she’s done her best to move on from her long-term love, finding
new romance with Max George of The Wanted.

Mario recently insisted he’s happy for his ex-girlfriend, claiming he’s not bitter about her new celeb man. Speaking to New! Magazine, he said: 'It doesn’t bother me. As long as she’s happy then I’m happy for her.'

Adding to his art: Mario was spotted with a
fresh bandage on his arm as he left the restaurant suggesting he's
recently added to his tattoo collection

'The
one thing I’ve always said is if I can’t be the person to put a smile
on Lucy’s face, then I hope she finds someone who can. So if he is that
person then I wish him all the luck in the world,' he added.

Clearly
out to prove that he is unfazed by the fact that Lucy has moved on with
one of the world's most lusted after pop stars, he compared himself to
Max:

'I’ve
made my mistakes. He did what he did with Michelle and I did what I did
with Lucy,' he said, referring to reports that the singer cheated on
former fiancée Michelle Keegan.

Quick exit: Mario's mystery date didn't look happy to be papped as she left the Essex restaurant and sped away in a separate car

'You learn from these mistakes
and I’m sure he won’t let another beautiful girl slip through his
fingers. I’m sure he will treat her well,' he added, magnanimously.

But
Mario didn't rule out the pair reuniting, saying: 'Everyone wants to
see us back together, but I think we both know that we need to do our
separate thing and then you just never know..
